Inside the Twelfth Level of the Holy Tower, Tan Yun sat cross-legged. After releasing the primordial flame, the Qiankun Ring flickered, and three Supreme Dan Dings flew out, hovering above the primordial flame.
Tan Yun was about to refine three types of elixirs simultaneously, namely the longevity sacred pill, the soul-calming spirit-nourishing sacred pill, and the spirit pool reforging sacred pill.
As he began, a wave of anxiety washed over Shiyao, who was watching him intently. She couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as she observed Tan Yun’s focused expression, fully immersed in his task.
"Will he be able to handle it all at once?" Shiyao thought, her heart racing with concern. The stakes were high, and the elixirs Tan Yun was attempting to refine were not only complex but also crucial for their future endeavors.
She remembered the challenges they had faced recently and the powerful enemies lurking in the shadows. The thought of failure was unbearable.
With her brows furrowed, Shiyao continued to watch Tan Yun, hoping that he would succeed in his endeavor and forge the elixirs that would help them overcome the trials ahead.
Over fifty years ago, Tan Yun had promised Dantai Zhongde that he would refine a furnace of Supreme longevity sacred pills for his parents.
Now, while assisting Tang Xinying in refining, he was also essentially refining for Dantai Zhongde.
Time flew by; three hundred years had passed inside the tower, while only a year and three months had passed outside.
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, above the Hidden Dragon Rankings, the wind howled and dark clouds swirled as if the void itself had been violently torn apart.
In the blink of an eye, a thirty-zhang diameter time-space tunnel formed.
Within the deep and dark time-space tunnel, fierce winds howled like wailing ghosts. Abruptly, a hazy light barrier cascaded down, enveloping the high platform beneath the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
In the next moment, figures flickered out from the time-space tunnel, transforming into six powerful beings on the high platform.
The six were Dantai Yu, Dantai Long, the leader of the assassination organization Huangfu Guchong, deputy leader Song Huixin, the leader of the Heavenly Punishment Organization Tian Lao, and deputy leader Wei Quan!
Over fourteen years ago, Dantai Yu and Dantai Long had reached great perfection in the divine domain realm, while the other four were at the ninth layer of the divine domain realm.
The six had cultivated for over two thousand years within the time-space magic treasure, and after taking the Divine Domain Pill, Divine Domain Rejuvenation Pill, Domain胎 Elixir, and Domain胎 Return to Spirit Pill, Dantai Yu had seemingly stepped into the fifth layer of the domain胎 realm!
Meanwhile, the other five had reached the fourth layer of the domain胎 realm!
Additionally, all six had practiced the cultivation techniques popularized by Tan Yun, and now all six possessed the ability to challenge opponents two small realms above their current level!
As the six released their spiritual senses and discovered that the Secret Realm Gate had been shattered, they were all taken aback.
However, the next moment, they felt a weight lift off their shoulders, for through their spiritual senses, they found the heavenly slayer demon ape lounging comfortably with a black staff, lying on the grassy ground beneath the Secret Realm exit, humming a tuneless melody and chattering away.
Seeing the heavenly slayer demon ape's relaxed demeanor and realizing there were no strong enemies outside Huangfu Secret Realm, the six exchanged astonished glances.
“Could it be that Yun'er has already repelled the enemies of the four major forces?” Dantai Yu exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, the heavenly slayer demon ape stopped humming, still not opening its eyes, and casually replied, “No, no, no, we didn’t repel the enemies?”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
In a flicker, the six figures crossed two thousand miles of void and appeared next to the heavenly slayer demon ape. Dantai Yu asked, “Old Ape, where are the enemies?”
